    What are the best intake systems?

    Well, it seems to me that the Auto Exe intake system has around the same gains as the Injen and K&N Typhoon system. I just wonder why would Auto Exe sell that intake system for so much. Maybe the carbon fiber stuff. So which Intake system is the best regardless of price?
